I am wondering what I should work on in the week leading up to my competition, one week from Saturday.

My second question is this: I somehow managed to bruise my anterior deltoid where it attaches to the clavicle on my left shoulder during a little regrip in preparation for a jerk. I was trying to set my hands wider on the bar and it somehow raised a nerve closer to the skin and the little bar pop I gave came down on it weird and now it hurts to catch the bar in the clean and also hurts to get the bar in the correct positioning for the jerk. Any thoughts on this? I have been resting it, icing and NSAIDs. I hope it can heal in time for the competition next weekend. My ultimate goal is to qualify for the American Open 2014, but it probably won't happen at this meet.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions on the training and my particular injury!

Thanks a bunch for the layout. I will stick to it as I prepare for my second meet. I'm excited and will report back with my results!

Also, I have absolutely no experience in what weights to warm up backstage before the lifts. Do you have any advice on that? Should I try and hit my opening weight before I get on the platform? Any advice is appreciated.

I like doing multiple sets at your lightest warm-up weight to really get warm before you start moving up. This takes more time, but I find people feel much better, and this doesn't really tire you out at all. For example, I'll snatch 50 3-4 sets of 2 before I start moving up.

After that, the idea is to get warm and prepared with as little fatigue as possible. Something like 6-8 sets to get to your opener is usually about right. Take bigger jumps early and smaller jumps as you reach your last warm-up weight.

But also as Blake said, you need to be confident during your warm-up and especially for your opening lift, so don't change anything drastically from what you would do normally when working up to a heavy single or max attempt.
